Greg Zink

Audit Staff

(Ernst & Young LLP)

I am an audit staff at Ernst & Young LLP, and just started full-time in January, 2015.

Only having officially worked with the firm for a very short time, there are not many
specific examples that I can use to explain what I enjoy most about my job. However,
in a general sense I would have to say that the most rewarding aspects about my career
are the allowed flexibility of work-life balance, the opportunity for travel as an
employee of a global firm, and the ability to claim ownership of my career path with
the firm.

Beginning my career with Ernst & Young upon graduation has allowed me to check off
a major life goal. I was able to transition immediately from a college student to
an employed young professional, something that I am thankful for every day because
I know that not everyone has that opportunity afforded to them upon graduation.

I heard about my current position through the COBI e-mail notifications, and followed
up with various contacts within the firm.

COBI prepared me to enter the working world by not only providing a vast amount of
opportunities to join campus organizations, but also through their conscious effort
to make students aware of such programs and the benefits that each one can give to
a student.

I was a double major in accounting and finance. I am a very analytic person and enjoy
creative problem solving, both traits which can be directly applied to these fields.
However, I initially came to the University to study chemical engineering. During
my second semester in engineering I had the opportunity to take ACCOUNTING 1040 with
Professor Marker and knew immediately that this was the career path for me. I switched
after my freshmen year and have not looked back. I added the second major of finance
to essentially round out my knowledge base and applicable skills that would assist
me as I advance throughout my career.

While in COBI I was also actively involved with various organizations on campus, such
as Beta Alpha Psi, Alpha Kappa Psi, Presidential Ambassadors, Student-Athlete Academic
services, and the Jesup Scott Honors College. All of which I think enhanced my personal
development. In addition to campus involvement, I also had two internship opportunities
with Marathon Petroleum Corporation.

I would tell someone considering studying business at UT COBI that I attribute everything
that has made me the business professional I am today to my choice to study within
The University of Toledo College of Business and Innovation. I would tell them to
look past any doubt that they might have about enrolling, because no matter who they
are as an individual, I can guarantee that they will find a career path that fits
them rather than fitting themselves to a career path.
